A 37-year-old woman has been charged after allegedly attempting to bring in ammunition into Mt Eden Corrections Facility.
Court documents seen by Stuff show the 37-year-old woman allegedly attempted to bring .22 calibre ammunition into the prison on August 1 with the intention that it should come into the possession of a prisoner.

The woman is further charged with unlawfully possessing the ammunition.
Prison director Dion Paki said staff were processing the visitor when they discovered the ammunition.
“Staff then carried out a further search of the visitor and their car using detector dogs. No further contraband was found,” Paki said.
The woman is set to appear at the Auckland District Court on Wednesday.
Police were unable to comment as the matter was before the court.
Last month, a 41-year-old prison staffer was charged with attempting to smuggle tobacco and cannabis into the same prison.
